MIIT Public-Naming Bulletin 2026 Batch 5 (Total Batch 58): 26 Apps and SDKs Named, With Auto-Renewal, Misleading Downloads, and Non-Compliant Use in the Findings
On August 25, 2026, MIIT's Information and Communications Administration Bureau issued its fifth public-naming bulletin of 2026 (total Batch 58), citing 26 apps and SDKs for conduct infringing user rights. DCC translates the bulletin and the full 26-entry annex, taken from the PDF on MIIT's website. The findings run to 48 across eleven categories. Seventeen entries drew non-compliant collection of personal information, and eight drew non-compliant use, a category absent from Batch 4. Two categories reach past personal information altogether: a non-compliant auto-renewal service and deceiving or misleading users into downloading an app. Seven of the 26 are education or study apps, two of them gaokao application planners. A city-run media center, a piano maker, and three SDKs, one an ad SDK, complete the profile.
